I was about to make a post and came across this. I’m having the exact same issues. My ISP is Aussie Broadband and I just spoke to them and we did some ping tests and everything is ok from our end. Issue is on Blizzard end.
I went to https://us-looking-glass.battle.net/ and did some testing with my ISP. I’ll paste my traceroute below but for a quick summary we ping both Blackrock US and Tichondrius US servers and here were the results for the same IP
137.221.83.84 (137.221.83.84) 803.653 ms 803.727 ms 803.758 ms - this was on Tichondrius
137.221.83.84 (137.221.83.84) 1203.653 ms 1203.727 ms 1203.758 ms - this was blackrock
So looks like that particular IP address that routes information back to us in Australia is failing. Hopefully Blizz look into this and fix it as it feels unplayable at the moment since most of the stuff I do is PvP related and on US servers
Here is my traceroute in full from Tichondrius - US
